Why waste time on whipping, mixing and baking when I can make a super easy dessert in less than 30 min which is healthy ,hearty and guilt free too!

I have been trying different combinations of dried fruit, nuts, seeds and flavorings and there is always a box of this super power balls in my refrigerator.

So here is the latest recipe I have tried with one of my fav ingredient, desiccated coconut.

Fig and Date Balls

Eureka! I have found the perfect guilt free snack! And what more ,its eggless, no bake and not even any cooking involved.

And with the added goodness of dates, figs , almonds and Oats!

Me being a sneak, I didn’t tell about the hidden Oats and nuts and gave the Sweet balls to DH who absolutely hates anything with a healthy tag on it!

He thought its some laddu and gorged on it and finished it in no time!

Later in the evening, he was searching the refrigerator for the sweet ballsJ

And he was like, it was soo good and you made such a small batch! And that’s when I reveled the secret ingredientsJ

I told him that in fact it had all his “enemy” stuff in it!

Still he was telling me that Oats and nuts are well hidden and next time I should make a larger batch!

So waste no time in whipping, mixing and baking instead try this Super power Fig and Date balls .

I bet these will satisfy your sweet tooth!
